O.Walker and Johnny Morrison at the recent meeting of the republican county central committee has aroused a spirit of resentment among members of the party throughout the county which must inevitably result in the elimination of these two Southern Pacific tools from the realm of Orange county politics. These two worthies, taking orders from Walter Parker, the railroad boss for Southern California, bound Orange county to the chariot wheels of the push, in the most shameless piece of political jobbery ever perpetrated in this county. Members of the county central committee who permitted these two men to hoodwink them into voting down Mr. Forgy’s resolution providing for postponing the Orange county convention are themselves largely to blame, even though, when too late to rectify the mischief, they repudiate Walk- But this fair treatment of county is denied her baggage and Morrison, who are on roll of the railroad push debauch politics in this battle is not yet over, republicans of the county show these railroad polls worth two of the kind here out.

Let name such man, and Or support him. But Mr. will not do. Richard Melrose will be date for the assembly by republican county co which meets at Santa An of political jobbery ever perpetrated in this county. Members of the county central committee who permitted these two men to hoodwink them into voting down Mr. Forgy's resolution providing for postponing the Orange county convention are themselves largely to blame, even though, when too late to rectify the mischief, they repudiate Walker and his dirty political methods. A word of explanation may be necessary to make these things clear. The Riverside county convention, which according to advice from reliable authority will be dominated by the railroad push, is called to meet the day following the date set by Walker and Morrison for the Orange county convention. The Riversiders will elect delegates to the senatorial convention "at large," instead of by the usual method of choosing them by supervisor districts. This will give Estudillo, the railroad candidate, the ten votes which Riverside is entitled to in the senatorial convention; whereas by the usual method Estudillo would probably lose two supervisor districts, each having two votes. Thus Estudillo seeks by trickery to get the ten votes of the county, suppressing minority representation, whereas according to the usual manner of electing delegates he would probably lose four. That is to say, the fellow is entitled to but six votes, whereas by gagging the convention he will get ten. So far so good. If Riverside permits the railroad push to bind and gag her, we have no word to utter in protest. But when the push, represented in Orange county by Walker and Morrison and a few complaisant members of the county committee, seek to prostitute Orange county to their base uses, there will arise a mighty Richard Melrose will be due for the assembly by republican county council which meets at Santa Ana. Mr. Melrose has been a reiteration section for nearly forty years and rendered the county our service in the last year when he did much to pro-county's dismemberment of Los Angeles parish was a faithful party work earlier years of our politics. Orange county was yet Los Angeles, and when real were few and far between was then a hotbed of riot democracy. He was pro-elector four years ago, Henry T. Oxnard in the national convention for that From Washington.com port that President Roosevelt spend the first year after ment from office in travel the United States. While rary has not been determined cording to report, his plan some of the little-frequencies of foreign lands, and, the prediction is made that indulge his fondness for hunting game. The President is saying, in this connection: liam Taft is nominated and president, which would be it would make impossible cism if I were abroad, to that I was dictating to him he was being followed, or tried to dictate and had been down in my suggestions." he will get ten. So far so good. If Riverside permits the railroad push to bind and gag her, we have no word to utter in protest. But when the push, represented in Orange county by Walker and Morrison and a few complaisant members of the county committee, seek to prostitute Orange county to their base uses, there will arise a mighty voice in protest. These push worthies insisted that the Orange county convention be called a day in advance of the Riverside convention, and that delegates to the senatorial convention be elected by supervisor districts according to the time-honored method. This will give the machine an opportunity of slipping in a delegate here and there against the protests of loyal members of the party. Two delegates thus stolen away from Orange county will give Estudillo the nomination. Both Walker and Morrison are candidates for delegate to the senatorial convention. They should be sat upon hard by the Orange convention which will undoubtedly be anti-railroad. The object in postponing the county convention is this: If Riverside adopts the gag rule, Orange county should be given the opportunity of adopting the unit rule against her. Orange has thirteen votes in the senatorial convention; Riverside has ten. SAYS THE RAILROAD PUSH Says the Railroad Push to the republicans of Riverside: You must elect your delegates to the senatorial district convention at large, not by supervisor districts. Says the Same Push, as represented in this county by Walker and Morrison, to the republicans of Orange county: You must elect your delegates to the senatorial district convention by supervisor districts, not at large. The difference is here: The push expects to have a majority, although a small one, in the Riverside convention, and will be enabled to give Estudillo the county's ten votes by spiking the convention, when a fair test by supervisor districts would cost him four of his ten votes. The Orange county republican convention will undoubtedly be overwhelmingly anti-railroad. If it were permitted to elect its thirteen delegates to the senatorial convention at large, not a railroad hireling would be permitted to get on the delegation. As it is, we shall elect our delegates by supervisor districts, and the railroad hopes to slip in a man here and there against the wishes of the majority. That is why S. O. Walker grew Melrose will be a candidate in the assembly before the county convention meets at Santa Ana May 7. Melrose has been a resident of Orange for nearly forty years, served the county conspicuously in the last legislature and did much to prevent the dismemberment at the beaches Los Angeles parties. He faithful party worker in the years of our politics, when County was yet a part of Angeles, and when republicans and far between in what is a hotbed of rockribbed policy. He was presidential four years ago, defeating T. Oxnard in the congressional convention for that honor. Washington comes the re-elect President Roosevelt will be first year after his retirement office in travel outside United States. While his itinerary not been determined, according to report, his plan is to see the little-frequented por-foreign lands, and, of course, fiction is made that he will this fondness for hunting big. The President is quoted as in this connection: "If Willitt is nominated and elected, which would be gratifying, we make impossible any critiI were abroad, to the effect was dictating to him and that being followed, or that I had dictate and had been turned my suggestions." The Southern Pacific spends annually many thousands of dollars to maintain its political bureau. Why? Does it do it as a contribution to the welfare of the general public? If so, it is news to us. Does it do it in the interest of good government? The political department of the Southern Pacific has been for decades, and is today, the most potent force for the corruption of the citizenship of California there is in the state. For decades it has been educating the citizenship of the state to believe: That there is no avenue to political success except that which leads under the yoke of the Southern Pacific railroad; That success in public life can come only through the favor of the Southern Pacific railroad; That betrayal of trusts by public officials is excusable and expected by the people; That to stand for the people and general taxpayers of the state against the interests of the Southern Pacific railroad means certain political death, an of the important matters to up at the next annual meetthe state railroad commissionNew York is the abatement of napuisance, and the railroads country are about to take contention with this end in view.

Wickersheim Implement Co. That success in public life can some only through the favor of the Southern Pacific railroad; That betrayal of trusts by public officials is excusable and expected by the people; That to stand for the people and general taxpayers of the state against the interests of the Southern Pacific railroad means certain political death, an early grave and political oblivion. In a large majority of cases has this not been all too true? The Southern Pacific has spent many thousands of dollars, and disbursed many thousands of dollars' worth of free transportation to make it true. Why? Because where it has spent thousands of dollars to control the government of the state and corrupt its officials, it has made millions in return. It has not only escaped paying its just share of the taxes to the extent of millions of dollars, but it has acquired special privileges and rights of untold value. But it is in the power of the taxpayers to put the Southern Pacific political machine out of business and run the government of the state in the interest of the people and the state at large; and the first blow must be struck at the primaries on May 5. The Southern Pacific will not rule the state any longer if the people say "No." Phones Sunset 294 Home 1044 You Need Good Rubber Hose go to DICKEL'S varieties from 10c to 20c per foot.
